Tetris, this can be regarded as a classic old IP of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Later, this work was successfully included in the international classic design directory.
Other games may have room for continuous evolution in gameplay.
But the game Tetris is really the best at the beginning.
Later Tetris games were just adding some special effects or some more stylized painting styles based on the original game rules.
It is already difficult to optimize the gameplay.
In the original world of Bamboo Star, Tetris is also a classic. If the Tetris built into the game console is included, the total game sales of Tetris in the previous life can reach more than 500 million copies.
It is far behind the second-ranked Minecraft by twice as much.
And despite the simple rules of Tetris, and it seems that the game has been released in this world for more than ten years, it is still enduring.
According to current online statistics, there are millions of online players playing Tetris on game consoles, handheld consoles, and PC Battle.net platforms combined.
If Zhu Youxing really wanted to use this game to make money, he could make a lot of money just by using the routine of buying and selling skins.
The popularity of Tetris in this world is no less than that of games like Crush in the original world.
People who want to buy the copyright of this game really have a good vision.
Zhu Yuxing said: "The other party wants to buy the copyright of Tetris, but is unwilling to say his name, so it seems that it must have something to do with us. I think you should reject this purchase request directly, right?
"
The assistant nodded: "Yes, but I feel that this is a rather special matter. I think I should report it to the president."
Zhu Yuxing thought for a while and said: "Let's find a way to investigate who wants to buy it. I'm really curious about who wants to buy Tetris."
"OK."
That afternoon, the assistant dug out the information of the person who wanted to buy.
Maybe the other party didn't really conceal it deliberately, but just didn't want to tell it at first, so Youxing Electronic Entertainment only used a little bit of tricks to find the buyer's information.
"Mickford wants to buy Tetris?"
Hearing that the person who wanted to buy the rights to Tetris was Mickford, this was really beyond Zhu Youxing's expectations.
Mickford has never been very interested in electronic games in the past. Of course, it is inevitable that video games will exist in his operating system. Even if Mickford has made some profits from it, they are still stubborn and do not want to admit that electronic games
Zhu Youxing knows a lot about games. His boss, Myron Case, was forced to kick out the Hongguo Company he founded because of the video game industry. Naturally, he now has some prejudices against video games.
But it is really surprising that such a prejudiced person would actively want to buy Tetris.
"President, when we found the other party's information, the other party did not hide it, but left us another sentence."
"What words?"
"Smartphones have become very popular, and home console games and handheld games will gradually decline. He suggested that we should seriously consider stopping losses in time and stop insisting on the electronic game industry."
The assistant also showed a mocking look when he said this.
These words were very provocative, so provocative that even her assistant found it a bit funny.
How can you say that video games will gradually decline?
Obviously it is impossible for a layman to fully understand the video game itself.
Zhu Youxing didn't feel much funny about this sentence, but he felt that the feeling of déjà vu was coming again.
Nagao Ume, the boss of YOO, said the same thing at the time, and also claimed that he would spend a huge amount of money to acquire Yusei Electronic Entertainment, but in the end he couldn't solve the problem himself, and was directly stabbed by the Japanese chaebol class, and he is still there now
He is serving his sentence in a high-end prison in Japan.
However, Nagao Yuna is more like a clown-like figure, while Myron Case, Mickford's current CEO, is different.
After coming to this world, Zhu Yuxing felt that this guy had many similarities with Steve Jobs in the original world.

He has enough proud capital, he also has strict requirements for products, and the products he produces have indeed aroused widespread popularity.
And more importantly, Myron Keyes is now in his prime and has unlimited energy, but he does not have the sickly body that Jobs later had.
Myron Keys can still work hard for at least another twenty or thirty years.
Therefore, Zhu Youxing regarded him as a very threatening figure a long time ago, so he made arrangements in advance to let Facebook develop smartphones in advance to compete with Myron Keys.
It stands to reason that a sensible person like Myron Keys would not get so confused that he proposes to buy game copyrights on his own.
This is really puzzling.
Zhu Youxing probably never imagined that Myron Keyes was completely using public funds to satisfy his own consumption because of his interest and love for Tetris.
But Tetris is indeed worth $100 million.
If this copyright is more exaggerated, it is not impossible to ask for a price of one billion US dollars.
"President, should we reply with some mocking words to make him give up the idea of buying?"
Zhu Youxing said: "Well...it's not necessary. We definitely won't sell it anyway, but there's no need to reply to the other party."
Although I don’t quite understand the reason why Myron Keyes suddenly had an abnormal brain circuit and wanted to acquire the copyright of Tetris, but just based on this acquisition attempt, it can be seen that the smartphone industry is indeed developing very well now.
Myron Keys also has enough spare money to buy the rights to a game.
The market is gradually being dominated by Myron Keys.
Zhu Youxing put down the game development work at hand, and then said to his assistant: "Please help me count the sales performance of us, Suri Electronics and other smaller handheld game console production companies.
I want to see the current market share status.”
"President, our handheld business is very small now, do we need detailed data?"
"Yes, I want an accurate data to prove my guess."
"I see."
After saying that, the assistant left again.
Then two days later, the assistant will prepare all the information Zhuyouxing needs.
These data are the sales performance of several manufacturers that are still producing handheld consoles.
In addition to Youxing Electronic Entertainment itself, the specific sales performance of other such manufacturers can be easily obtained.
Because they are all listed companies, they need to frequently disclose their current sales results and the company's overall development plan to shareholders and the public.
Looking at these report data, Zhu Youxing vaguely felt like he had returned to the time when he was still a social animal in the original world.
At that time, what I saw most were codes and tables.
